My Passport Says Planet Earth
Em
I’ve travelled around the world
Am Em
and everywhere I’ve been
I’ve seen people of every size
Bm
shape and colour of skin
Em
I’ve done shows for Royalty
Am Em
and other famous in their countries too
Bm
but the only thing that I’ve ever seen is that
Am Em
they’re all the same as you
A E
*I’m a citizen of the world
B7 E
How about you ?
A E
My passport says planet earth
B7 E
is that your country to
Em
I have been to China
Am Em
I’ve flown into India to
and the people who live in Egypt
Bm
have to eat and drink like you
Em
They don’t eat Haggis like the Scots
Am Em
or snails like French people do
Bm
but you can bet you life if they were hungry
Am Em
they’d eat a MacDonald’s like some people do
Em
I know a woman in Africa
Am Em
She loves her baby son
I know of an American
Bm
Who is proud to be a mum
Em
I know so many people
Am Em
who have given their children to war
Bm Am Em
and still we go on fighting and still I ask what for
*
Em
You had to sleep last night
Am Em
most people had too
and there’s more that links you
Bm
to the other homo-sapiens than divides you
Em
So why be a Scottish person
Am Em
Why be English Why be a Jew
Bm
there are people all over the world
Am Em
and they’re exactly the same as you
